Vehicle model
Eagle Gamme Eagle - véhicules particuliers
The core of the Eagle lineup consisted of passenger cars: sedans and coupes sold from 1988 to 1998. These included the Premier, a full-size sedan of Renault origin assembled in Ontario; the Medallion, an imported Renault 21; the Summit, Vista and 2000 GTX, derived from Mitsubishi models; the Vision, a sporty sedan on Chrysler's LH platform; and the Talon, the brand's emblematic sport compact. These cars targeted driving enthusiasts looking for an alternative to imports. Now collector or second-hand vehicles, they fit period sizes, generally on 14- to 16-inch wheels. In Quebec, checking the exact size on the door jamb and opting for dedicated winter tires ensures safety and preserves the longevity of the original wheels.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules Eagle datent de 1988-1998 et chaussent des dimensions d'époque, souvent en jantes de 14 à 16 pouces. Les compactes (Summit, Vista) et la sportive Talon utilisent typiquement de plus petits diamètres, tandis que les berlines pleine grandeur (Premier, Vision) montent des pneus un peu plus larges. Comme il s'agit surtout de véhicules de collection ou de seconde main au Québec, il faut vérifier précisément la dimension d'origine inscrite sur la portière avant toute commande, ainsi que l'entraxe propre au modèle (souvent d'origine Mitsubishi ou Renault). Un jeu de pneus d'hiver dédié, montés sur jantes d'acier, reste fortement recommandé pour la conduite hivernale québécoise et préserve les jantes d'origine.
